Spicy, Low-Fat Veggie Burgers (Vegan, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free image

These flavorful patties are baked instead of fried! I modified this recipe from The Great American Detox Diet by Alex Jamieson. These burgers freeze well if individually wrapped. Reheat them in the microwave or oven or on the grill.

Time 40m

Yield 6 patties, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup onion, grated
1/4 cup bell pepper, grated
1 1/2 cups cooked lentils (or 1 15-ounce can, drained)
1/2 cup flax seed, ground
1/2 cup almonds or 1/2 cup other nuts, crushed
2 tablespoons shredded carrots
2 tablespoons shredded celery (remove veins with a veggie peeler)
1 fresh jalapenos (optional) or 1 other hot pepper, finely minced (optional)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Braggs liquid aminos or 1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Squeeze grated onion and bell pepper in a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  • Mash most of the lentils.
  • Combine all of the ingredients. Your hands are the best tool.
  • For best flavor, allow the ingredients to marry by letting the mixture sit, covered, at room temperature for an hour.
  • Use a 1/3- or 1/2-cup measuring cup to scoop the mixture. Pack tightly into cup then invert onto greased baking sheet for a total of 6 scoops, leaving lots of room in between. Smash each scoop into a patty shape using your hands or other flat surface.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Be VERY CAREFUL when you flip them, as they are still rather delicate.
  • Serve with whole-grain buns and all the condiments.

These burgers were a bit dry, but overall they were still good. I think I'll try adding some more moisture to them next time.

I love that these burgers are gluten-free and soy-free. It's hard to find veggie burgers that are both healthy and delicious.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best veggie burgers he's ever had.

I'm not a vegan, but I really enjoyed these burgers. They were juicy and flavorful, and I didn't miss the meat at all.

These veggie burgers were a hit with my family! They were easy to make and packed with flavor. I loved the spicy kick from the cayenne pepper.
